Dearest Mary
We have been friends for so long. You grew up opposite my grandmother in Crossley, went to school with me at St Bridgids, married our neighbor in Toolong/ Kirkstall and then retired down the road in Warrnambool. You were the best sandwich maker at the Port Fairy cards and one of the loveliest ladies to share 93 years with. You will be sadly missed.July 18, 2025 3:41 pm

The Finnigan family have very fond memories of Mary and her family as we grew up as neighbours in Toolong. Her dedication to the juniors involved in the Toolong tennis club was impressive and appreciated.
In hard and also happy times Mary would always arrive at Rossmoyne with a smile and her famous sponges which we loved.
Rest peacefully Mary.
